The list of banks included in these annual sections follows the EBA Guidelines on disclosure of indicators of global systemic importance. These EBA Guidelines not only increase the transparency in the G-SIIs identification process but also achieve a level playing field in terms of disclosure requirements between global systemically important institutions (G-SIIs) and other large institutions with an overall exposure measure of more than EUR 200 billion at the end of each year. Institutions that are close to but below the given measure may occasionally participate. Consequently, all EU institutions, which are potentially systemically relevant, will be subject to the same disclosure requirement as the G-SIIs.

First reference date available is December 2013 and this exercise will be run on a yearly basis.
